with my study abroad program, i went with my classmates to visit the Kwame Nkrumah memorial museum site. we were also able to see the “freedom and justice” and black star statue. the other image i added was an image of Kwame Nkrumah that says “Africa must unite.” K.N was an advocate for African countries uniting and becoming one. He met with a lot of big leaders and politicians to discuss that dream of his.
